Anyone think they could share some insight as to how well this space bar will work with cherry browns
Or cherry clears?

I have it on browns...works great.  Put it on both my Filco and Rosewill and love the feel and slight ping when it bottoms out.

I tried mine on reds: did not work at all. It's good on my tactile gray switch, though.

Mine's not heavy enough for a Grey 37/39. I'm using it on a black as activation is too light to rest my thumb on it with red.

it's slightly too heavy for a green. i haven't tried it with any heavier springs yet. i would not recommend using it with a blue/brown spring.

Got both of mine. Lovely thunk on my wasd with browns. On Pure with browns less so but still much nicer than plastic.  Only less good due to pure stabilisers and PCB mount.

Very happy. Thanks Feng!

instead of registering a space, the keyboard just typed "HELP ME" every time he actuated the spacebar switch.

ps, still lovin this spacebar. TITANIUM

I received the AWESOME spacebar today. Sorry for no pic... but it's the best spacebar I've ever had. The brushed top and sand blasted around one looks GREAT in person.

Now I'm just waiting for the better keyboard coming, and of course have to look for a keyset to match this one =]

And that sound... It's !@#! good =]

I couldn't get mine to work right on my QFR reds, it took about 5 seconds too long to come back up after having been pressed.

Glad everyone is using theirs, though. I will be using mine soon, I hope. Once I have a keyboard that is worthy.

Wooty woot! 
Mine came this morning.
Wonderful black Friday package.
I forwent the black Friday madness but still got something, what luck!
Thanks so much feng for hooking this up for us.


It does feel slightly soggy on browns.
I can activate the switch by picking up the keyboard and using the spacebars own weight on the browns.
On my clears it feels great.

It does something funky to the stabilisers..



hmm odd..

I can mount my textured one on my poker reds OK. and it is working quite nicely. (using right now.)

And was somehow able to mount my shiney one on my QFR reds.. But it makes the stabiliser rattle now.. but it works???

I had a similar issue initially.  The white stems that I put into the spacebar were very loose.  So it resulted in a rattle and unstable space bar.  I had thought maybe I had gotten a bad space bar... but later I switched a different set of stems which fit more snugly in.  Then it worked without the rattling.  So, check if the white stabilizer stems are loose or not.

If I obtained minor scratches in my space bar from using a cap puller is there any possibility of buffing then out with something like fine grit sandpaper? I would of thought titanium would been harder than plastic but you can see some mint p minor grazes from it.
